Smart English Upper-Intermediate

I have been engaged in the Smart English group above average for several months. Most of all in this course I like the clear structure of the block and the organization of the lesson. Firstly, at the beginning of each block, the teacher gives me a plan for the next month of classes, which spells out work on each skill. Secondly, at the beginning of each lesson we are told a consistent lesson plan. This means that I always know what tasks I will perform and what their purpose is. For motivated students - this is perhaps the best course!

Thank you very much for the opportunity to engage in such a fun and relaxed atmosphere. I have a very cool group and always interesting gantry. Largely thanks to our teacher and, of course, the program, we communicate a lot and are always involved in the lesson. The great thing is to completely immerse yourself in English for a few hours.
